I had a verizon s4 I545 NC5 version 4.4.2 running hyperdrive 20 with safestrap.
I thought I followed the muniz_ri's instructions to upgrade to OC1 with 5.0.1;
I must have made a mistake. Upon rebooting I got an organge screen with the verizon logo. If I replace the battery I get the animated battery charging icon. If I hold the power button or press volume+ + power + home the Samsung galaxy S4 logo displays temporarily, then back to a blank screen. Can someone point me in the right direction to find instructions to get my phone working again. Thanks in advance for any help.
I got my phone unbricked by flashing VRUFNC5 Full-Wipe with odin. I am now back to NC5 4.4.2, but I have lost root. Now I guess I will start over. Not sure what went wrong. The towelroot mod I originally used to get root no longer seems to work. Hmm. . .When I click "make it rain" I get an error message that towelroot mod has stopped working. How can I get back to root? Please help.

I followed the rooting guide for 4.1.2 and flashed or whatever the combination images via odin 3. Auto reboot was off.. anyway it went through until it said pass. Now all the services have stopped and the phone won't do much of anything. A lot of things come up as "stopped" like android.process.acore, touchwiz android.process.media., etc. Please help!!

same, now it wont load passed the 4g LTE screen
So I have a galaxy S4 that was rooted with build MI1. I started having issues with the screen flashing a green bar when being woken from sleep then turning completely black and staying that way (the phone has never been wet, just dropped lightly in its case). I thought maybe an app messed up something so I decided I should remove root and flash a stock rom so that I could return the phone to verizon if it turned out to be a hardware issue. I followed this guide to completion and the phone no longer has the samsung custom icon when booting up but when updating the firmware it fails each time. Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.
Also if you want more details about what my phone is doing here's a link to my original post
You might Samsung's Kies 3 program. Download and install on your computer. When it's finds the phone, you can update to factory settings.
I hard bricked by galaxy s4 on the nc5 and I'm wondering if anyone else is on the nc5 and willing to make a de-brick image for me.
It's not NC5, but I have a NK1! Can still be rooted! I can make you a NC5 if you like!
NK1 Service File:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4RU_ZH5QUASdHE1b2Q2NXpVX0U/edit?usp=docslist_api
NK1 won't let me bypass the activation screen like on NC5. I tried installing a custom recovery and it killed my IMEI and Baseband. Im stuck using WiFi only and can't get past activation screen without bypassing.
I highly doubt you hard bricked your phone if you're asking for stock rom to fix it. Hard bricked it when you can't power it on or put it in download mode. It won't even light up when plugged into a charger. That happened to me with a Sprint S3 and I had to make a special SD that forced it to boot up into Download mode. I don't even think there was a battery attached. It was a while ago but pretty wild once I got it working.
I have a Samsung Alpha g850f on 5.0.2
I rooted the phone with odin, but had to reformat it to factory. The warranty is voided.
I got an uppdate from samsung official straight to the phone but it fails installation.
When i turn on the phone, the screen goes black and all my apps fails, touch home, media, facebook, everything.
If i press volume down+home+power i can get to odin, if i press up it starts the installation of the update and fails at 0%. It does not give me the choice to hard reset anymore.
What can i do? Since i can get to odin page, can I install unofficial 5.1.1? I'm noob, can I use Galaxy Alpha OzcanRom Aroma Lollipop v3.0 or the Cyagen, where can i find original firmware and is there a how to?

Hey SageSeaturtle,
the original Firmware can be downloaded here (very slow) or using this tool. A little tutorial on how to flash firmware with Odin can be found here.
From the beginning:
SCH-I545
Used Samsung Smart Switch to update. Seemed to go good, rebooted to the Verizon screen and froze. Battery pulls didn't do anything different. (Notes: Lollipop android with animated antane, charging animations were working. beyond that I don't know what build I was on)-I have to assume I'm on OF1.
Next I try to flash an unbrick {http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-update-to-i545of1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3182544}
That failed in Odin (wasn't smart enough to copy the Log)
Now: I am stuck with Odin mode "Software Update Failed" telling me to connect to Verizon software to fix. Smart Switch can't connect. But Odin can. Cannot boot into recovery, takes me the the Odin Mode.
So fingers crossed someone can link me to a stock flash?
I'm not looking to root this phone, but if that's easier than going to stock lollipop then I'll take it.
reading up on this thread since it fixed his problem.

Update:
Odin flashed a few of1 unbricks. Most failed, one passed. But black screens after Samsung logo.
Need an Odin flash for of1 and oc1
When I'm home I'll update with the links to the unbrick that worked but didn't work.
